The only thing left to do now is wait for the results of the written part.
Thursday’s tasks:
27 F, 28 E, 29 H, 30 A, 31 G, 32 D, 33 C, 34 D, 35 C, 36 A, 37 B, 38 C, 39 D, 40 A.
There was a quote by some modernist Lost Generation writer (possibly Ford Maddox Ford, possibly not) about the greatest thing ever being the ability to jump into an airplane and fly into the Sun. At one point, it sounded like a good idea. Still does, sometimes, in the sense of an absolutely cathartic experience.
The problem with teaching is that these moments of catharsis I so yearn for, come occasionally, but not, of course, constantly. A brilliant essay, a superb piece of flash fiction, an illuminating presentation - the highlights alight from trains of thought. But these hardly compare to the illusion of the plane meeting the heavenly body.
Thus, I have realised the importance of the light years between lift-off and crashing. What they call the educational process (sometimes, also, life). And when I think back to all those lessons of English and BritLit and WhatNot (three years, imagine that), the only thing I can really hope for is that whatever you gained was worth the trouble and you get to use the obtained skills and knowledge in some useful manner.
This is me writing these final words in a room filled with pleasant night air cold enough to cause slight shivers which are not unpleasant. Time to stop now. Time to say goodbye.
I wish you a pleasant journey into the Sun!
We will meet tomorrow and the day after at 10 (room not certain, be at the lobby at 10). The informal letters stuff is in TIKõpe.
I hope you were informed about tomorrow’s schedule (and that you could read the essays on Thursday).
Anyway, will start at 8.15 with Birgit and then move down the list in 15 minute jumps. (Keep in mind that Kaisa, Joonatan and Kaupo did not write the essay).
Also, I’m feeling almost well (still coughing throat out occasionally), so I’ll be there as well.
Bring ALP.

This was not a Lesson.
This was not a Jail.
The Time I spent was worth it
Some Things are not for sale.
These moments in Life. They come along every now and then. Wave good-bye and shrug with a smile.
The first assignment I remember was to write a haiku, I thought it would be nice to end it with a haiku aswell.
English, English yo!
So much knowledge in my head.
It was fun, thank you.
